Master’s Degree Learning Objectives

KU’s educational administration degree program has been preparing educators and building-level leaders for multiple decades. The program is designed for part-time graduate students who currently hold initial teaching licensure and work in the classroom (or other positions such as instructional coach) in their schools.

Share in-depth analyses and discussions of theory for application to real-world experiences in an online forum
